Many people call my town of Madison, Wisconsin “67 square miles surrounded by reality”. Honestly, if you can handle certain things it is a nice place to live. One of the things you will need to be able to handle is the super liberal culture that you will be immersed in once here. I have a lot of fun with it. I moved here from Rockford, Illinois 15 years ago and to this day am amazed at what goes on. The two cities are separated by only 70 miles, but are worlds apart.
The Madison City Council is famous for wasting time on declarations that have no effect other than making a statement. They have had votes on impeaching presidents, taking stands on foreign conflicts, and many other things that will drive most normal people insane. All of the hand wringing and time wasting costs MONEY – and, in the end, it is my tax money that they are wasting. It is enough to drive one crazy unless you get used to it. Remember, the city council is made up of mostly Democrats and “Progressives”.
